The marriage liturgy is never private, but a celebration of the whole Church.

The central action of the marriage rite is the exchange of consent between the bride and groom, but we prepare for and unpack the graces of that moment through the prayers and readings of the liturgy.

In this episode, Fr. Innocent Smith, O.P., discusses the various parts of the Order of Celebrating Matrimony and how to prepare for a Catholic wedding.
